A must try! Open on Friday afternoons in the Broadway Market, Khoshmazeh offers a sampler platter…read moreof three of their menu items for just $23!! The platter comes with 3 LARGE pieces of Bolani, which is a flatbread filled with veggies, as well as Qabuli Palaw, a rice pilaf with a chunk of lamb and served with salatah, and 6 beef dumplings (mantu). You can substitute the beef for vegan dumplings. The portions are large and enough to feed about 3-4 people. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and was filling! I really want to try the vegan dumplings the next time I go, but just a heads up, these take about 30 minutes for them to make. The guys working were friendly and professional, and the food was truly fantastic. I highly recommend trying them out! Check their Facebook page for specials.

As noted by other reviewers, the menu is limited, but the food is delicious, the portions are generous, the service is friendly, and it's worth going out of your way to the market to enjoy. Had the Qabuli Palow, which, as noted by others, doesn't have a significant amount of lamb in it, but the lamb that is there is tender and tasty. The rice, with all the additions, is different from any I've had before and very good. Couldn't eat it all, but it was still very good the next day. The bolani was my favorite! Flatbread filled with leeks and potatoes, with sour cream and spicy green tomato sauce in separate containers for the to-go order. (They have no seating of their own, but there are table and chairs at the market where you could sit and enjoy the food there.) Don't try to pick up the flatbread and eat it with your hand unless you're looking to have a bit of a mess on your hand....this is NOT a criticism, just a warning! Hadn't intended to eat all of it at once (it's large), but it was too good to stop eating. Hopefully, business has been good enough that they will get a more permanent spot at the market. and, no styrofoam!

Ambiance: None.. you order food, wait, they call your # and you eat, when you are done, be courteous and put your plates away on the counter. There's always chaos during busy times, lines of individuals waiting for food so I guess that could be the "ambiance". It is clean place, all tables were quickly cleaned. Service: Fast & efficient, they have vast knowledge of the menu and can provide suggestions. Food: Mantu - my goodness, these little beef filled dumplings were oozing with flavor. The lentils, the sauce & yogurt absolutely delicious. Chicken breast sandwich - the chicken was very flavorful and great portion size wrapped in a soft naan bread. Steak - the steak it self was a bit dry but I guess that is what is the sauce is for. The kabuli rice & salad was tasty pairings with the steak. Chai - Warm, cardamon chai! Perfect end to the meal. I had forgotten about Bamiyan but was thoroughly pleased with the food & chai. Will definitely be visiting again.

My curiosity for kebobs/kebabs have grown over the summer because they are grilled meat and taste different from American/Canadian BBQ flavours. Also, they are more economical. We ordered combo #5 ($36) to share, a dinner with beef tikka, seekh and grilled chicken kebobs. The chicken and seekh kebobs were tender. The beef tikka kebobs were lean, dry and a bit tough to chew. They all tasted fine/A-OK. I found the rice flavorless and not fragrant. The salad was fresh though typical. The naan wasn't as fresh and soft as could be. It had no taste. For each combo, customer could choose to have just naan/salad or dinner (rice/salad/naan). I think the naan/salad option is good portion for 1 person but is pricey, because the dinner option is only $3 extra and there is much rice. The dinner combo 5 and 6 come with 3 skewers of meat and are sufficient for 2 people. This is important because the restaurant doesn't mind people dining communal style on premise. There were many families dining there when we visited. I interpret it as the food is authentic and economical.

First, my clear instructions for crispy, well-done bread are never followed, despite requesting this multiple times.

The food quality is good, but attention to customer instructions and consistent portion sizes need improvement.

The rice itself was awesome as it was super flavorful and buttery and the lamb shank was perfectly soft, tender, and beautifully fatty. My only real critique is that the server forgot my water and it was a bit too grain-heavy for my liking; I would've preferred a few more vegetables on the plate to balance out the mountain of rice and naan. The ambiance inside was okay, but if you're looking for a filling, delicious, and budget-friendly lamb dish, it absolutely hits the spot.

I placed an order for pick up i told the lady that i wanted two dinner meals with tandoori chicken and kebab, everything seemed just fine. Picked up my order 15minutes later and when i was paying for my order i asked the lady for some extra sauce with the meals and she rudely says "NO, IT'S 50 CENTS EXTRA. I said since when do you charge extra for sauce and she points right at this make shift sign that states "extra 50 cents for sauce". Ofcourse i didnt pay for extra sauce!! Why should i? I mean all the other locations give the sauces free of charge. FYI: THE SAUCES PROVIDED WITH YOUR MEAL IS ONLY FILLED HALF WAY, UNBELIEVABLE!! Anyhow my experience doesnt end there, i got back to my place and opened up the meals and seen she only gaved me tandoori chicken without the kebabs. I immediately phoned the restaurant back and spoke to same lady that took my order and i told her, hey you only gave me tandoori chicken when i clearly asked for kebab as well. Now, was i charged extra and just got ripped off? Because tandoori chicken meals cost less She says she didnt charge me extra, she only charged me for the "tandoori chicken meals" but whats odd is the amount didnt add up to two meals of tandoori chicken, it was more!! Her response to the missing kebabs was SORRY I FORGOT and thats it WOOOOOOOOOW!! so i asked what are you going to do now? are you going to make the kebabs since they are clearly missing.. she says: nono sorry. 1. She didnt offer to make the meal correctly and for me to come back. 2. She wasnt honest that she indeed charged me for tandoori chicken and kebab. -instead i was given tandoori chicken meals. Never again. Worst customer service. "She forgot" aka deal with it. Take your money else where!!

The cashier who was also the server pick and chose to whom she will drop the food that you bought. Some were called to pick up at the front desk even if she was not busy. While some food were delivered at their table even though she had customers waiting in front of the desk to order. I won't go further to say why this was being done, make your own judgement yourself. Food wise not so great either. Wasn't given any sauce for the salad to eat with. Had to ask for a dressing because I saw someone got one without asking. Food was quite dry. Dumplings were not to my taste at all unfortunately. The skin was falling apart not in a good way. So mouchy. Didn't taste any good. Maybe not to my liking, make your own judgement yourself

We went there to try their Chicken Tandoori, sheekh kebab on rice served with salad and naan, and Lamb shank with rice and salad. I personally liked the tandoori chicken and felt that the other grilled meat could have had more flavour, it seemed a bit dry. We also tried their lamb shank with rice and salad and the meat was very tender cooked in a tomato based gravy. Definitely better than the grilled meat. But it wasn't the food that stole the show; it was the ambiance and the sense of community that truly made the experience memorable.
